It applies to cases where you already have a approval for extension that starts after the day ur current visa stamp expires. So when u travel and at POE, the officer will perform the so called "last action" and stamp till the validity of your visa stamp. This "last action" is the current status of yours and will invalidate every other action (including the approval for an extension starting after the visa stamp) that was obtained before you travelled.
Wonder if it was some PhD who devised this rule at USCIS.

Reversal Frustrates
Green-Card Applicants
By MIRIAM JORDAN
July 5, 2007; Page A2
The government's surprise offer, then abrupt reversal, of an opportunity for thousands of skilled foreign workers to obtain permanent residency in the U.S. highlights the problems of the overtaxed immigration system and the frenzy that results from a chance to apply for a green card.
The scramble has put tens of thousands of workers and their families in limbo after many of them and their employers spent thousands of dollars in hopes of securing permanent residency. It may result in a class-action lawsuit against the government by frustrated applicants.
The problem began on June 12 when the government seemed to open the door for thousands of foreign workers and their families to end the long wait to apply for a green card. That is when the State Department published a Visa Bulletin, which is a monthly notice closely watched by immigration attorneys and their clients because it determines who is eligible to file a green-card application the next month. The June bulletin announced that practically all skilled foreign workers who had been previously deemed eligible for an employer-sponsored visa could now take the final step of applying for a green card.
By law, the U.S. can issue about 140,000 employment-based green cards each year. Last year, the government fell short by about 10,000, despite the long waiting list; leftover visas cannot be rolled over to the next year. The June announcement aimed to prevent the visa slot from going to waste, according to a State Department spokeswoman.
The announcement was greeted with a mix of jubilation and panic by thousands of engineers, lab scientists and other high-skilled foreigners who had waited years for their place in line. Working ahead of a July 2 date for filing the application, intending immigrants rushed to gather documents, complete paperwork and obtain medical exams. Many of their dependents boarded planes for the U.S. to meet a requirement that all family members be present at the time of filing.
"The bulletin created a land rush among legal immigrants desperate to finalize their green-card applications," said Steve Miller, a Seattle-based immigration attorney.
Then, on July 2, the State Department issued an "update" that reversed the previous bulletin. It stated, effective immediately, there would be no further authorizations for employment-based cases. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which processes the applications, said it would instead simply process existing applications to meet this year's quota. "We already had sufficient applications pending without new applicants...," a spokesman said.
Mike Aytes, head of domestic operations for the USCIS, said all 147,141 employment-based green cards have now been issued for the year.

I must agree - both are important..it is just each one of us have different cases and circumstances
that It might be important for OP but you should considerate about others you should not say that every body elses problem is nothing in-front of OP's problem ."Injustice" word sound like that.
as somebody said earlier abount OP tha it sounds selfish and mean.
When NSC people were getting Receipt and TSC were waiting , no body said ."Injustice" word .
So when it is not affecting you it 's fair.....But somebody else gets that you cry foul play ....Be considerate about others
Personally I wish all (NSC ,TSC , Carlifornia , Vermont ) filers should get there receipt , EAD and AP as well as Final GC as soon as possible

This signature waived is normal because of something having to do with when they scan the card, and if your signature is there, then it could cross the line where the machine scans your card. So I have heard from others online in these posts this is valid since August 1 FOR EVERYONE and your picture is there, so this is not an issue. What I am wondering about is why is this EAD only valid for one year when first it was valid for two years, why have they changed this? And if your i-485 green card case is pending, and you have gotten your i-765 EAD in your hand do they approve your i-485 green card fast? SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND
I could answered better if you would have filled up your profile... anyways... many ppl are scared of even accepting or providing dates..
what is your PD ? Sooner the PD there is a good chance for being 1 year. if your PD is far away or chance of being current is not soon it will be for 2 years.. unless officer erroneously submitted for one year...anyway there is no work around you need to hang on.

Hi Prinive,
I too am in the same club, having a priority date of Sept 2001. I am still awaiting my I-140 approval, filed in March 2007.
Hoping things would be sorted out sooner rather than later....I am in EB-3....How about U??

I wonder if this is one of the rogue users from another forum. this is tiring to post everyday, but here are IVs acheivements:
Of course no one is forcing you to donate, you can just go around complaining, accusing and attacking everyone for the next 10 years instead.
Dude, I have also donated to IV but i am not sure why that "donor" doesn't come next to my name. I wish everyone donates atleast $25 to support IV and for you "tonyHK12" stopping being a Jerk and accusing people as being attackers (when you don't know about anyone), if you need to encourage people to donate start a new thread and direct people to the new thread.

Government dictates the rule for granting F1 non-immigrant visa and eligibility of a school or its programs to admit students under such provisions. When a student is at the school, the school/department has full control on what are the conditions for an international student to be on a valid visa. For example, some schools enforce 9 credit requirements per semester while other requires 12 (so yes school dictates these details) or some have no such requirements such as Kaplan/Language schools etc. There are other details too like duration of completion and criteria for expulsion. In violation of any of these conditions each school can cancel F1 status based on its own rules. Government doesn't dictate on what criteria can a school expel a student and thereby voiding his/her F1 visa status.
As for intent, merely showing an intent is different from actually changing visa status. F1 with a pending AOS is a gray area for precisely the same reason. The best thing an F1 student could do is to complete the course meeting the F1 criteria of possible and/or switch to EAD by formally taking up an employment and filing I-9 which will be same as changing status explicitly.
As for previous non-immigrant status it remains so until one uses EAD regardless of what that status was. There is no ambiguity in it, that's why people obtain EAD and never use it to maintain their previous non-immigrant status. If you maintain a valid F1 status and say your I-485 is denied you are still safe because your F1 status is still valid, it didn't go away just because you showed an intent to immigrate by filing I-485. That's what I was suggesting to original poster, if for some reason you prefer to maintain non-immigrant status you should keep either F1 or H4 whichever is convenient to you.
The school policies does not determine whether someone can be on F1 status or not. Government has laid down the rules for F1 status. School cant say that one has to take so many credit hrs for that person to be on F1. The rule is that to maintain F1 status, one has to be a full time student with minimum 3 courses , thats 9 credit hrs, but the exception is the final semester where that student can have less then 9 credit hrs.
Plus since the F1 is not a dual intent visa type , when someone applies for 485 , the F1 status is forfitted. what you are mentioning about the previous non-immigrant visa status continues even after obtaining EAD and remain so until EAD is used only applies to the non-immigrant status like H1 , H4 , L1 etc which are dual intent visa types. For F1 your statement does not apply.

My opinion (may be incorrect):
You should show your approval notice at the port of entry along withyour passport(visa). The immigration officer should put the date based on your approval notice on your I-94. If he doesn't (make sure you check you I-94 at that time), request him to correct the date. If still he doesn't then last action rule applies as you stated.

I have some good news and some bad news!
The bad news is that. You will get your green card in 5 years and after other five years you will get your citizenship. So in 10 years will be in position to get married.
Now , you will be wondering what is the good news.
Well!, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to GEICO.
LOL, this is very funny. Had a good laugh this friday morning.

I am in the same Boat. My PD is May 26 2004. Mine and my wife's case was transffered to Des Moines Iowa on March 19th 2008 and says its for additional processing. I applied for EAD renewal on June 11th and no approvals yet. I called uscis and they say that my ead would not be approved until the additional processing on my 485 is completed.. I am guessing it would be an interview.
Not necessarily in the same boat, although in the same pond.. :) In your case if the email says 'additional"processing and clearly indicates the DEs Moines office then it might very well be for an interview. In the case of ABH though all it says is that it was transferred to a USCIS office for "standard" processing, which could be as simple as USCIS mailing the packets from CSC to NSC.

The approval of h1 will not invalidate H4 visa. The usage of h1 visa invalidates H4 visa.
if you have h1 approved and don't join the company, then your h4 remains intact. Once you join a company on h1, you will fill out i-9 form, which informs the concerend authorities about your status change.
tabletpc,
Look at tv25's post. He/She alreday used the H1B...tv25 mentioned that she/he worked on H1B for three months. That would have invalidated her h4 visa.
tv25 shouldn't have entered using H4 visa that got invalidated as soon as the H1B was used.
This is a serious issue and as all others are saying, tv25 needs to contact an expert immigration lawyer.
thanks

H1B petition has dual intent ie immigrant intent on an non-immigrant visa and hence previous filing of I-140 with the previous employer shouldn't affect your new application for H1B.

Hello Friends:
Recently Vermont center processing time for H-1B extensions moved to Oct-1-2007. As per new USCIS reporting method of processing times, what this means is, they have COMPLETED processing applications received as of Oct-1-2007. This means, people who have applied for extension after Oct-1st should be getting their approvals these days.
I want to find out which dates currently they are at based on your feedback of your application date and whether you received approval or not as of today.
My case: Applied Oct-30-2007 Status: Pending
Thanks.

Kondur, based on your signature, you have 3 active applications in the system. I understand EB1A, thats you sponsering yourself and no labor needed. EB2 with PD 02/08 is employer filed with PERM and I140 and whole nine yards. if I understand it right, EB2 NIW is also something an employer should sponser (or atleast help you with some documentation) and you file I-140 directly like EB1A. I know parallel applications are OK and EB2-NIW or EB1A are surely faster. but is there any reason behind that many applications at same time (other than increasing your probability of atleast one going thru?)..
There is a reason for multiple I 140s in my case. There are benefits to each of them:
1. EB2 PERM based: already have it approved.
Benefit: already approved. Lock the PD.
Disadvantage: Not current. Upon approval you have to work for the sponsoring employer.
2. EB2 NIW:
Benefit: No committment to work for a particular employer. Just work in the same field as NIW. Easier to get approved than EB1. Not sponsored by employer; self petition. Attorney files it with no extra charge with EB1 (only additional filing fees)
Disadvantage: not current.
3. EB1A (My best bet!)
Benefit: Current and will remain current. Upon approval no need to works for a particular employer; just stay in the same field. Not employer sponsored.
Disadvantage: Very difficult to get approved.
Hope this clarifies....
